The Round of 64 at the Madrid Open begins on Friday, and I have picks for both Canadians in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Felix Auger-Aliassime is the first to play in the morning and I’m fading him based on a tough opponent as well as recent results. Later on, I’ll take a shot on Bianca Andreescu to keep her match competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my top Madrid Open predictions for April 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid Open predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Cerundolo +1.5 sets (-124)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a partial fade against Auger-Aliassime, who can still win this match while cashing this wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cerundolo is a specialist on clay courts. Of his 509 career contests, 382 have been played on clay, where he holds a strong 267-115 record (70.0% win rate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, he’s accumulated a 12-5 record on the playing surface while Auger-Aliassime is 0-2 to this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian began his career as a beast on clay courts but has fallen off over the years. Since the start of 2020, he is 34-29 on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Cerundolo is playing the best tennis of his career. The 26-year-old is 20-9 in all matches in 2025 and is coming off a semifinal appearance at Munich, a tournament also played on clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He ended up losing to No. 13-ranked Ben Shelton, but he did manage to cover this spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t trust Auger-Aliassime right now, either. After a brilliant start to the year, the Canadian has lost four of his past five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Cerundolo has cashed this wager eight straight times on clay. That includes a recent three-set loss to Carlos Alcaraz, the No. 3-ranked player on tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andreescu Madrid Open tennis pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Andreescu over 8.5 games won (-103):<\/strong> I don’t want to overreact and say Andreescu is back, but I feel good about the Canadian being able to win her fair share of games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically, she could lose in straight sets and still cover this modest line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andreescu missed a lengthy period of time recovering from multiple injuries. She lost her first match upon returning, but I’m willing to overlook her first go on clay since last July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked much better in her second match, beating McCartney Kessler in straight sets (6-2, 6-4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The competition gets much harder for the round of 64 as Andreescu takes on No. 11-ranked Elena Rybakina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rybakina is 17-7 in 2025 but has yet to play on a clay court. She has an 87-36 career record on the surface but could need time to accumulate in this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Rybakina’s worst run in a while, too. The 25-year-old’s 70.8% winning percentage this season is almost 10 points lower than her 79.6% win rate in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
